It is Thursday again and time for a delightful challenge. For this challenge the theme is to use a flower. I chose to use a floral background card stock. My image was colored and shaded with copic markers. My dellightful image is Daisy. She was printed out on my HP printer, colored and shaded and then cut out and popped up on my Graphic 46 card stock.

For my Delightful DT challenge card for this Thursday, I used Wendy's adorable bear digital stamp from the Little Dumpling Accessories Set! My cute bear was colored and shaded with copic markers. My cardstock is from SU and Bazzill. My flowers are from Prima and buttons are from my stash! She is just perfect for this week's challenge of Tickled Pink!

(I used Wendy's adorable images of January Cupcake and Winter Sentiments), cardstock or papers of your choice, Acrylic Color of your choice, stickles, assorted brushes, and or glitter, canvas, and assorted stickers and or embellishments, modge podge or decopage medium of your choice. Brown ink for distressing borders and embellishments.

First paint edges of canvas the color of your choice. I used cerulean blue acrylic paint on mine.

Tear paper/cardstock to fit over canvas to show just a little of the blue painted border.

Using decoupage medium (Modge Podge) of your choice, cover canvas. Add paper and add more decoupage medium on top. Let dry. I applied brown stazon ink with a sponge on edges for a distressed edge.

Lay out digital images, papers and stickers. I colored and shaded my January cupcake and winter sentiment with copics. (hint: before coloring and decoupaging image let them dry overnight to prevent smearing)

After choosing where images go on canvas attach all items on canvas with decoupage by applying decoupage on both sides of each image. When dry add one more layer of decoupage over entire canvas.

For my Delightful Challenge DT project for today, I used one of Wendy's adorable images called June Cupcake for my treat bag. My image was printed out on the printer and colored and shaded with copic markers. Star background and cardstock were all from my scrap drawer. What a great way to use all of those scrap pieces! My ribbons were from my stash too.

About Me

Hi! I am married, & have 2 fantastic sons, Adam who is 24 and Ian who is 18. After college Adam became a fitness instructor and just recently started his own fitness company ARC Fitness.
Ian graduated from High School & works at Sam's Club and goes to school at IUPUI. I have been involved in crafting and sewing for most of my life. My grandmother taught me how to sew. As early as I can remember, I have crocheted and sewed. Along with my sisters, I made and sold crafts for years at local craft shows in Indiana. I became interested in making cards awhile ago and became addicted. So much so that I converted our unused living room into a craft studio! I just LOVE making cards & scrapbooking family memories. I have learned so much from many of my fellow card makers on ebay! I do work full time in Recreation Therapy. I love working with the elderly! I have done this for over 27 years! Thanks for visiting my Blog... It is a work in process...
